Players are currently tilting the game in their favour by using the hands-off approach by staff to their advantage, but that's not being addressed at all. But who cares. I won't be sticking around much longer anyway so do as you all please. Staff preach for us to voice ourselves but we are always told we are wrong for a, b, c reasons with a bunch of hypotheticals or the fact that staff don't want to police metagaming despite it being against site policies. Again it just comes off as our concerns are not being heard and ignored. 

Can you be more specific? Have you reported these instances to us? I'd be happy to look into it.. but after checking our reports, I don't see anything from you so I genuinely am lost on what you're referencing.

Anyone, at any point, can use the report button to report something they think is breaking the rules. We don't have a hands-off approach to legitimate rule breaks. Our "no mediation" policy does not extend to rule breaks.

Occasionally, we do get a report or a PM from a concerned member, about something that they perceive is a rule break that isn't. Members then get frustrated that they're not getting their way, and equate that to being unheard or ignored. There needs to be a little clarification here from the CM team that not getting what you want isn't the same as being unheard.

You and other members are allowed to feel discouraged that a policy revision didn't go your way. That's valid. It's happened to us all at some point. As long as you remember these policies have always been made with the best of the game in mind.

And has it ever come to mind that breeding season is a nightmare BECAUSE there is a time limit to it? People want their puppies so they rush things and bombard staff as opposed to being more relaxed about it because they can get to it at any time? Breeding on wolf is by far the most constricting site ive ever been a part of since most sites dont have a season and its just less stressful for everyone. Just food for thought. But yes, I'm done in this thread. I'll just go back to my clique and finish my stuff so I may move on since I'm absolutely exhausted by this.

Bold mine, and I agree. This was my major argument back when the breeding season was first installed. I didn't see it solving the issue, it instead concentrated it into one very small segment of time.. but it was what the people wanted! Sometimes we have to flex a little.
